What does the continuous detection of Omi Keron in the Mainland mean?

The Tianjin Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention performed the whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis of the respiratory tract samples of asymptomatic infections of the new coronavirus imported from Tianjin on December 9.

CCTV News reported on December 14 that according to the news at the Guangzhou epidemic prevention and control press conference held on the afternoon of the 14th, Guangzhou found the first positive case of Omi Keron imported from abroad

The case, male, 67 years old, lives at No.

The Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention performed the whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis of the new coronavirus from the nasal swabs of the case.

What does it mean that the Omi Keron mutant is found in the Mainland? How should the public be protected?

The reporter interviewed Wu Hao, a community prevention and control expert in the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and Dean of the School of General Medicine and Continuing Education, Capital Medical University, to make judgments and interpretations

Based on past experience, high-risk populations in relevant work industries in port cities may be at higher risk of infection

It is particularly pointed out that in the past, port cities were implemented as a whole for prevention and control, which had a certain impact on the economy.

How to reduce the second or third generation of the virus? There are two points that need special reminders.

The prevention and control of the epidemic is not only related to the government's response mechanism, but also closely related to the public's health literacy

Wu Hao: The Omi Keron mutant strain is still a new coronavirus in nature, and its transmission law is similar to that of previous new coronaviruses, so conventional protection methods are still effective
.
An intuitive example is that some of the confirmed cases in Beijing in the past have taken the subway, but they did not cause widespread transmission in the crowded situation
.
This is because the Beijing subway system complies with strict disinfection and ventilation, and the control of wearing masks is also very strict
.
Therefore, simple protective measures such as wearing a mask, washing hands frequently, and ventilating can greatly reduce the risk of infection.
The key is to implement them in place
.

Therefore, from a national perspective, establishing a "dynamic zero" strategy, and extinguishing one epidemic when one is found, can minimize the impact of the epidemic on the economy and life
.
For individuals, it is also critical to comprehensively improve their health literacy
.
It needs to be realized that the new coronavirus can be transmitted either through humans or objects, either through the respiratory tract or through contact, which makes the prevention and control of the epidemic more difficult
.
We must make long-term preparations, take a few basic protective measures, turn the government's prevention of what we want to prevent, and then actively vaccinate the new crown vaccine to reduce severe illness and death, and the impact of the epidemic on individuals and society can be reduced to At a minimum
